ASAP by NewJeans (뉴진스)



"ASAP" is the 6th and final track listed on South Korean girl group NewJeans' 2nd EP release "Get Up" (Released on July 21, 2023 by ADOR). I've been kinda obsessed with the track and MV recently, so here we are...! Scroll thru for assorted video for & audio, cheers.



The "ASAP" MV was directed by Jakyoung Kim of FLEXIBLEPICTURES (@flexiblepictures_), produced by Min Hee-jin, immediately reminded me of Bjork & Michael Gondry (Human Behaviour, Hyperballad), with the "woodland fairies" concept/ fantasy imagery seen for the first and last time in NJ's discography (Images via IMDb).

"ASAP" was developed from a beat created by Norwegian musical duo "Smerz" (Catharina Stoltenberg and Henriette Motzfeldt) and based on one of 250's loops at the end of the session, during late afternoon, while the group was relaxing. Member Danielle wrote lyrics for "Super Shy" and "ASAP" (Info).
